Be prepared: Heat magazine's video interview with David Cameron is nighhttp://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/mar/30/heat-magazines-video-interview-with-david-cameron-is-nigh
<p>For those unable to vote without knowing what sauce the Tory leader puts on his chips or who he’d most like to have a selfie with, the wait is nearly over</p><p>What is David Cameron’s spirit animal? On Tuesday, thanks to Heat magazine, Britain will have the answer. The prime minister has filmed an interview with editor-in-chief Lucie Cave, with the trailer for the event <a href="http://www.heatworld.com/2015/03/david-cameron-interview-with-heat-s-lucie-cave#.VRkg8N45vzI">already viewable on the publication’s website</a>.</p><p>Arguably less anticipated than the Star Wars teaser, it is nonetheless a masterclass in post-imperial bathos. Do have a cushion handy if you’re planning to watch it, as it requires Cameron to Do Some Acting, in a performance critics are already calling his finest since <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/02/21/one-direction-david-cameron-video_n_2731589.html">he tanked in that One Direction video</a>.<br /></p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/mar/30/heat-magazines-video-interview-with-david-cameron-is-nigh">Continue reading...</a>David CameronGeneral election 2015UK newsPoliticsMon, 30 Mar 2015 12:32:46 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/mar/30/heat-magazines-video-interview-with-david-cameron-is-nighPhotograph: Justin Tallis/AFP/Getty ImagesDavid Cameron.

The outgoing PM's last natter with the Queen played out hidden from public view, but what hasn't these last few days?<p>Having begun this election standing outside Buckingham Palace waiting for Gordon Brown to clock in and out of Her Majesty's car park, there was a certain symmetry to ending it in similar fashion, with the added bonus of being able to watch David Cameron's driver execute the same epic constitutional manoeuvre half an hour or so later.</p><p>It would be nice to tell you that it was a whole new world out there after the political crapstorm that has been electrifying our planet, but things felt decidedly similar. &quot;Gordon Brown?&quot; queried one man from Florida when asked for his thoughts on being present at the end of an era. &quot;Who is Gordon Brown?&quot; It doesn't especially matter now. &quot;Sorry,&quot; he chortled, &quot;but I have no idea who your prime minister is.&quot; Please don't apologise: we haven't had the first clue ourselves for days.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2010/may/11/gordon-brown-queen-david-cameron">Continue reading...</a>Gordon BrownDavid CameronLabourConservativesGeneral election 2010PoliticsTue, 11 May 2010 20:48:14 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/politics/2010/may/11/gordon-brown-queen-david-cameronPool/ReutersGordon Brown with the Queen.

Gordon Brown storms it as the party leaders make their final pitches before the CitizensUK conference in London<p>Addressing community leaders yesterday, Gordon Brown used the precise spiel he had deployed at Michael Foot's graveside six weeks ago. &quot;It was said of Cicero,&quot; he thundered on both occasions, &quot;that when people heard him, they turned to one another and said: 'Great speech.' But when Demosthenes spoke, people turned to one another and said: 'Let's march!'&quot;</p><p>Given his electoral prognosis, you are begged not to make some distasteful joke about the aptness of Brown recycling material that last played well at a Labour leader's funeral – not least because he used the same words last year in a Time magazine paean to Barack Obama, as well as in speeches to an LGBT conference and a Google conference in 2008, to Anglican bishops that same year, and a think tank last year.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2010/may/04/gordon-brown-citizensuk-marina-hyde">Continue reading...</a>General election 2010LabourGordon BrownConservativesDavid CameronLiberal DemocratsNick CleggPoliticsUK newsTue, 04 May 2010 06:30:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/politics/2010/may/04/gordon-brown-citizensuk-marina-hydeJohnny Green/PAGordon Brown delivers his speech to the CitizensUK assembly in London Photograph: Johnny Green/PAJohnny Green/PAGordon Brown delivers his speech to the CitizensUK assembly in London Photograph: Johnny Green/PAMarina Hyde2010-05-04T06:30:00ZDavid Cameron ushers us into a world of euphemismhttp://www.theguardian.com/politics/2010/apr/26/david-cameron-world-of-euphemisms

Tories' pit stop at a brewery is a wasted opportunity<p>Tuesday's invitation to join the next Conservative government was issued in a brewery. Fortunately, the Tory campaign team were not required to organise a piss-up in the venue, as on current form that might have proved tantalisingly beyond their capabilities.</p><p>Primarily, though, David Cameron's visit to Marston's in Burton-upon-Trent was another one of those wonderfully impromptu, desperately micromanaged events that so enliven the election trail. They are quite something to behold. A most extraordinary amount of energy is expended, giving the impression of a bunch of energised political kids suddenly piling off a bus and exclaiming, &quot;Let's do the show right here!&quot;</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2010/apr/20/general-election-2010-davidcameron">Continue reading...</a>General election 2010David CameronConservativesPoliticsUK newsTue, 20 Apr 2010 19:03:58 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/politics/2010/apr/20/general-election-2010-davidcameronMarina Hyde2010-04-20T19:03:58ZGeneral election 2010: Vanessa invites David into her lovely studiohttp://www.theguardian.com/politics/2010/apr/14/election-vanessa-feltz-david-cameron
